The Lydden Bell, hotel in Dover

The Lydden Bell is a recently renovated bed and breakfast in Dover where guests can make the most of its garden and bar.

The unit was cozy and clean, and we were able to park right in front. We were leaving too early in the morning to have breakfast at the pub, so the staff left us a generous portion of snacks for the road. Taking the bus into Canterbury was highly convenient.

An Ancient Port of Call

Dover is famous for the white cliffs which would have been a striking sight to the Romans as they advanced on England. They decided to construct a port at this strategic spot and it has held an important role ever since. Ferries to Calais and Dunkirk cross the English Channel several times daily and some brave souls even manage to swim across.

A Roman lighthouse still stands atop a hill overlooking the port, but is easily missed as it was incorporated into Saxon St Mary de Castro Church as the bellower. It is found within the grounds of 13th-century Dover Castle, one of England’s largest castles, whose multi-level ramparts sit above tunnels where the World War II Dunkirk evacuation was planned.

Another Roman monument is the Painted House whose remains include some of the best-preserved Roman murals north of Italy. Even older is the Bronze Age boat displayed in Dover Museum.

The Dover Transport Museum showcases vintage vehicles, and the Blériot Memorial marks the spot where the first airplane to fly across the Channel first touched English soil. A path runs along the top of the nearby cliffs, while at their feet is a shingle beach.

The Dover accommodation on Booking.com includes luxury hotels with pools, cheap inns and B&Bs near the train station.

    Dover is a must see and can be placed on your bucket list.

    Dover is a must see and can be placed on your bucket list. The walk along the cliffs is great and the Dover castle is well maintained and very interesting. Parking in Dover is as per all UK towns a problem and you need to plan accordingly or you can use the local bus services.

    We spent a day and a half in Dover and came specifically to see the historical Fan Bay Shafts (National Trust) and Dover Castle (English Heritage). We found Fan Bay Shafts interesting and very 'genuine' history. Note that it is 45 minutes underground in damp, but not cold, tunnels, wearing a hard hat and head torch. Dover Castle warrants a whole day or more! Lots to see. We had time to see Deal Castle too. Good as a contrast, as it is a Tudor fortification. They have tried hard with their pretty good first floor exhibition, but the basement is an underused and under-explained resource which could be much more imaginatively tackled.

    Dover needs significant regeneration: the town is tired and not appealing. I have known Dover since 1965 and to be honest it is probably now at its worst, but I can see some small signs of improvement: however everything being demolished is becoming a car park!! Dover needs to look like Folkestone or Deal: more independent and unique shops to attract people. Not the standard chains stores and "cheap shops", which of course have their place but different shops attract curiosity. The castle remains the main attraction, as does western heights and Dover Patrol memorial. Kirsney Abbey and Russell Gardens provide a tranquil side. the ride through Alkham Valley, always puts a smile on my face.

    Dover is a very busy port town but also a town full of interesting history. We loved walking out along the pier, watching the ferries come in & go out, we enjoyed visiting Dover Castle very much, it is well worth putting a day aside to visit the castle and we found the town centre to contain everything we needed for our visit; minimart, chemist, shoe shop, pubs, restaurants & coffee shops. It’s small enough to walk everywhere & plenty to do. There’s a great walk along the famous white cliffs which we ran out of time to do but we’d like to come back one day & see more of this great town. In all, Dover is a bit rough around the edges but a very interesting town to visit, especially if you like boats, the seaside & history.

    Plenty to do in Dover and with travel issues (traffic and train strikes) well worth reducing the stress and planning a day in Dover. Premier Inn offered (online reservation) for Bag stashers. Local museum has amazing Bronze age boat! Dover castle has so many different historic periods covered - Roman lighthouse, Plantagenet castle and World war II hospital / headquarters - allow plenty of time.

    Dover is really undergoing a regeneration process, the beach are is very popular and the marina is just lovely. The town itself is very run down indeed and we avoided it this time. We did spend a lot of time walking on the beach and enjoying the lovely atmosphere.

    BW plus is wonderful and comfortable hotel located on the Dover marina and very close to the Pier. The rooms are spacious, bright and very comfortable. For our room, we had a huge window leading to a Juliette balcony with an amazing view of the port, white cliffs, and the castle to our morning Tea and coffee. The hotel also has an amazing gym, aerobic room, spa, and a sauna which brings the value for money. The hotel staff was courteous and amicable always eager to help out and sort out any issues there might be. We had a relaxing stay.

    Pandora helped us when we changed our dates when booking via e mail. When our luggage was left in Houston and they said they would deliver Pandora, our host made sure she was available so we could get out and see Dover. Plan on staying here again. Breakfast was delicious with little touches, our Grandson said it was the best hot chocolate and his favourite place. Loved the pool and the Summer house. Such a welcoming host. Thank you Pandora for making us feel so welcome.

    We stayed here for one night, and had a really lovely room, and a very comfortable stay. The owner welcomed us warmly and gave us useful tips for reaching the cliffs and for visiting the castle of Dover. Everything spotlessly clean, nice bathroom, bed and pillows were so comfortable. Great location, friendly staff and well maintained hotel, perfect accommodation for a very good price. We'll definitely stay again when we are in the area!

    Very nice place with a great view over Dover. Very quiet thanks to its situation far from the centre and the main road. Very nice welcoming by Margaret and her husband who kindly proposed me to carry my suitcase into my room as there are steep stairs to get there. Lovely breakfast. Very cosy, clean and quiet room and entrance locked with security code. Nice little private car park below the hotel.

    we absolutely loved the room. So clean and bright. First we loved how comfortable beds but the next day we all had back pains. I believe they dont support that well. The table and chairs ere great and breakfast tray. Really nice accomodation but Dover seemed a little forgotten unfortunately. A little sad considering the tourist attraction of the castle and the harbour.

    We had a nice stay at the Royal Oak. Room was cosy, bed very comfortable and breakfast more than allright. Good decision to sleep there after arriving in England late with the ferry. Next day we could start refreshed on our road trip through the Kingdom. Dover is also nice, unfortunately there was no time left for a walk to the beautiful castle on the cliff.

    The little room off the kitchen is really nice. Their patience with us was great. We came on the ferry from Calais that was late getting into Dover and the hostel’s door takes a code they give you as well as a coded door receptacle to get in your room. With these codes you don’t need to see the staff, if you come after hours.

    Great location in town! Short walk from the train station and Dover Castle. Margaret is a gem. She made us feel so welcome, and provided great tips on things to do in the area. The room was clean and we enjoyed the fresh milk provided. Margaret's garden is beautiful and we enjoyed it in the evenings and morning.
